    Hi,

    My choice of laptop is the new 2025.

    I like the idea of the widescreen, the better battery life, the Arcade, the DVD multi, the weight, the 1.8 processor with 2MB cache.

    BUT, I didn't know until now about the new Ferrari......

    Think I'll stick with the 2025 as I am going to be mainly doing video editing, and I have heard (rightly or wrongly) that this processor will be better

    Only problem is, I live in the UK, so am trying to figure out how to get it from the US.
    I think though, I may have come up with a solution!!!



    I thought, "What's the worst that could possibly happen?"
    Then it did! [B)]

    If you go to the Acer site and select your region, there are lists of suppliers there.
    Or you could try searching for the 2020 series.
    The cheapest I have found advertised prior to the lauch mid to end of May is
    http://www.pcvideoonline.com at $2229USD

    Does anybody know where I can get either the Acer aspire 2025 or 2026 in the UK (store or website), or an American site that will let me use a UK issued credit card?

    The cheapest I have found so far from a respectable on-line vendor who actually sells only Acer laptops is Harmony Computers - they are listed on the acer website as well.
    the link is:
    http://www.harmonycomputers.com/product.asp?i=2025WLMI
    there is also 18 or so bucks shipping charge so the total will come around $2140 and this is a pretty good price for a brand new 2025.
    Good luck.
